Are We Supposed to Believe Fox News Is Now Just Realizing Sean Hannity Is A Trump Shill?

Have they been asleep for the past 9 months? And while we're at it, what about Bill O'Reilly and Eric Bolling? I don't know anyone that still watches Fox News. Could it be that Ratings are slipping? I Wonder:

Apparently Fox News has drawn the line for Sean Hannity over how far he can go publicly in supporting Donald Trump.

Watch Hannity in Trump ad above

Hannity appeared in a Trump campaign video called #HEARTLAND4TRUMP without getting permission from the network. When The Daily Beast alerted Fox News, the network put the kibosh on such actions. A Fox News spokesperson stated, “We were not aware of Sean Hannity participating in a promotional video and he will not be doing anything along these lines for the remainder of the election season.”

Fox, under Roger Ailes, had essentially let Hannity stump for Trump without any restrictions, but now that Ailes is gone and Fox News co-presidents Bill Shine and/or Jack Abernethy are in charge, things apparently have changed.

In the video, Hannity states:

One of the reasons I’m supporting Donald Trump this year is No. 1, he’s going to put originalists on the Supreme Court, people that believe in fidelity to the Constitution, separation of powers, co-equal branches of government. He’s a guy that will vet refugees to keep Americans safe. And of course he’s gonna build that wall. He says he’s gonna have Mexico pay for it. That’s fine, as long as we secure the country and of course we don’t want people competing for jobs. He said he will eliminate Obamacare, make us energy-independent. And as somebody who’s been a marksman since I’m 11 years old, protecting our Second Amendment rights are paramount to me.

I would call him a supporter of Trump's, but then he also supported Romney in 2012. Hannity, like most conservatives, generally supports the nominee. I know - this year is different because some emotional people got their little feelings hurt. Have a good cry and get over it. We have a nation to save.
